Introduction to FGT_80F-v7.0.15.M-build0632-FORTINET.out.zip

This firmware package delivers essential security hardening and performance optimizations for Fortinet’s FortiGate 80F next-generation firewall, specifically engineered for small-to-medium businesses requiring enterprise-grade network protection. Released in May 2025, build 0632 addresses critical vulnerabilities while enhancing SSL-VPN stability and threat prevention efficiency.
